Ingredients:
1 box of your favorite cake mix (chocolate, yellow, or white)
The ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually water, eggs, and oil)
1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
1 jar (16 ounces) of caramel topping
1 large tub (8 ounces) of Cool Whip, thawed
1 package (6 ounces) of toffee bits
Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan.
Prepare your cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan.
Bake the cake in your preheated oven as directed on the cake mix box.
Once the cake is done baking and still hot out of the oven, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. The holes should be about an inch apart.
Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Then, repeat this process with the jar of caramel topping.
Allow the cake to cool completely, which should take about an hour.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the tub of Cool Whip evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the toffee bits all over the Cool Whip.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together.
